INTRODUCTION • GETTING STARTED SPECIFICATIONS

The EBS Drome Classic is an ultra-compact and unbelievably light 150W bass
combo with incredible sound, filled with unique possibilities!! The old Viking
myths says; "To keep the diabolical Fenris wolf from killing the Norse Gods
(Odin, Thor, Freya and the others) an impossibly strong necklace, "Drome",
was created, which would keep the evil wolf under control!" .

EBS Drome Classic är den mest kompletta,

kraftfulla och flexibla kompakta bascombo
som någonsin har tillverkats. Med inbyggda
superaktiva filter och det klassiska EBS
ljudet, erbjuder EBS Drome Classic en
mängd möjligheter, som beskrivs i denna
manual. Men först av allt följer en
introduktion som hjälper dig att bli bekant

EBS Drome Classic.

ATT KOMMA IGÅNG...

1. Packa försiktigt upp combon.

2. Se till att alla kontroller är ställda fullt

motsols. Fortsätt med att ställa de tre
filterrattarna märkta BASS, MIDDLE
och TREBLE till mittposition. Leta upp
filteromkopplaren och ställ den i läge
BYPASS. Se även till att omkopplaren
märkt Character är i uttryckt läge. Nu
är ljudet i EBS Drome Classic
"nollställt" och redo för att skapa just
ditt personliga sound.

3. Koppla in din bas.

4. Spela hårt på basen och vrid upp GAIN

ratten tills PEAK dioden börjar blinka.
Än har du inget hörbart ljud, men en
perfekt signal att jobba vidare med.

5. Sök och vrid upp VOLUME ratten till

lämplig ljudnivå.

The EBS Drome Classic is the most
powerful, versatile and complete compact
bass combo ever built. With built-in super
powerful EQ, the unit offers an extremely
wide range of possibilities, while
maintaining that classic EBS sound. These
brief tutorials will help you to become ac­quainted with some of the features of the

EBS Drome Classic.

GETTING STARTED...

1. Carefully unpack the bass combo.

2. Check that the controls are set fully

counter clockwise. Proceed by turning
the three filter knobs marked BASS,
MIDDLE and TREBLE to mid position.
Locate the filter switch and set it to
BYPASS. Make also sure that the
switch marked Character is in its’ outer
position. Now the EBS Drome’s
Classic settings are "zeroed" and ready
to be personalized.

3. Plug in your bass.

4. While plucking the strings as hard as

you would during your hardest playing,
gradually increase the GAIN knob until
the PEAK led starts to flash at peaks.

5. Move over to the VOLUME knob and

adjust for the desired output volume.
